33 years ago, Zhou Runfa ventured and Zhang Aijia made a literary and art film, and did not want this transformation of Zhou Runfa, directed by Du Qifeng, to touch countless Chinese people and help Zhou Runfa win the third Academy Award.
This film is the "Story of Ah Lang", which has lasted for more than 30 years and is still charming, and the "Love Song 1990" and the ending song "The Way You Look" composed by Luo Dayou are also the finishing touches, and the singing is endless.
This film brings the joys and sorrows of ordinary people to the big screen, telling the story of a prodigal son who turns back, becomes a single father and struggles to make a living, and finally chooses to let go in order to give his son a better future. It seems cheesy, but it is not conventional.
In the second half of the film, Ah Lang sighed: "People really can't make mistakes, otherwise they can't turn over in their lifetime." ”
A sentence spreads the sad atmosphere of the whole play until it is sublimated to the end of the film, where Alang is reduced to ashes along with the exploded car in a racing race.
We've all made mistakes and tried to make amends, but not everyone has a chance to start over.
Alang is a racing driver, young and famous, life is wandering. Ah Lang met Bo Bo, a rich woman who was expelled from the house, and after the two fell in love, Bo Bo resolutely moved out to marry Ah Lang despite the opposition of his family.
At this time, Bobo only had happiness in his eyes, and he could not see the series of vices that Ah Lang had already formed. When Bobo was pregnant, he went to deliver food to Ah Lang, but accidentally bumped into him and was having an affair with another woman.
Heartbroken, Bobo returned home, waiting for Alang's explanation. However, Ah Lang was indifferent to the theft, and after the two people had an argument, Ah Lang rudely pushed his pregnant wife out of the door, causing Bobo to roll down the stairs.
Moreover, Ah Lang had an accident because of illegal racing, injured his leg, and was imprisoned for two years.
At this time, Bobo, who was born prematurely, was deceived by his mother, saying that the child died prematurely after birth. And helped her daughter to study abroad, and the heartbroken Bobo obeyed the parents' arrangement.
At this time, Bobo's parents ran to the prison to tell Ah Lang that he and Bobo's children had been sent to a welfare home. After Ah Lang was released from prison, he took back his son and named him Bo Zai, and for the sake of his children, he stopped racing cars and worked on construction sites.
The life of the two people is difficult, Alang is still poor, but the father and son are still happy, until Bobo, who has been abroad for ten years, returns home.
As a representative of the advertising company, Bobo caught a glimpse of BoZai and wanted to ask him to audition for the commercial.
When signing the contract, he accidentally found that Bo Zai's father was actually Ah Lang. And Ah Lang also calmly informed that Bo Tsai was Bo Bo's biological son.
After learning of this situation, Bobo spent all his time to accompany Bobo, and the long-lost happiness and the warmth of the family drove Ah Lang to want to chase Bobo back.
But Bobo said to Alang: I don't hate you anymore, and I don't love you anymore. But just not hate, not forgive.
Ah Lang has tried his best to raise his son for ten years, but he is still the vulgar little person who has no skills and wants his son to live with him in the tube building and squeeze into the same bed.
Jeans, long messy hair, a towel around his neck, a cigarette that does not leave his hand, and a box lunch on the construction site make up his inherent image.
When Bobo proposed to take his son abroad and give his children a better education and living environment, Ah Lang was shaken. When he is torn between father-son love and the growth of his children, he learns that Bobo has lost his fertility due to premature birth that year.
Ah Lang used the way of scolding to once again show us the real life of the little people. In order to get Bo Zai to leave, the two people had a fierce quarrel, and he threw Bo Zai out of the house.
Time consumes Ah Lang's arrogance and arrogance, but it makes this strong-looking father vulnerable and entangled because of family affection.
Life is not perfect, life has regrets, life has cause and effect.
The most impressive thing about the character of Ah Lang is that he is unambitious, real and sad. Even if the prodigal son turns back, many things have long been lost.
The day Bobo took Bozai away, the lonely Alang returned to the field, and now all he has left is racing.
However, unexpectedly, at the moment when Ah Lang first stepped into the arena, Bobo stood outside the court with the bracelet he had given her.
But what has happened in life cannot be easily erased. Injured legs while racing, jail time, tracks...
There was an accident on the racing track, Alang's car fell to the ground, and his head was hit by other racers, but he still desperately stepped onto the car, hit the guardrail after he crossed the finish line first, the motorcycle caught fire, and Bozai and Bobo rushed towards him...
This scene slowly came with Luo Dayou's singing, which made people can't help but burst into tears. Eventually the motorcycle exploded, taking Alang with him. Took away the man who was not highly educated, full of foul language, and debauchery, but brought the child unreserved paternal love.
People can be transformed, but life has no ifs, young and crazy bitter fruit, overdraft of trust in love, the prodigal son can not stop things from being wrong.
Ah Lang's death brought his life to an incomplete end, which seemed to be a punishment for this former prodigal son, and it seemed to be his best place to return...
A lot of the damage is irreversible, and the reason why "A Lang's Story" can become a classic is due to that sad ending. This ending makes the whole film look more shocking and reflects the real life.
I look forward to the reunion of the Ah Lang family, and I am afraid that the Ah Lang family will get back together. Bobo and Alang have been people in both worlds from beginning to end, and I am afraid that after their return, the trivialities in the marriage will consume the past and fall into the clichés of life.
Ah Lang's death is a break with his past self, and a redemption of his own self who once betrayed love.
Zhou Runfa successfully created the image of a "scumbag" and a prodigal son who could not bear to be harsh. The most rare thing is the closeness of life, as if what you see is the ordinary you and me around you.
Ah Lang uses the subtleties of life to create the warmth of the film, and uses a man's failure to vividly interpret the inferiority, unwillingness, anger and compromise of life.
This can be a memory, but it was already lost at the time.
A momentary mistake, a lifetime.

The world is so big, thank you, you can see me!
